RedBubble Artists Challenge

Hello,

I represent RedBubble (http://www.redbubble.com/), an online marketplace for high-quality original artwork by artists from around the world. In a few weeks, we will be participating in New York Comic Con for the first time and to engage the art and design community in the event we have launched a contest looking for original t-shirt designs to feature and giveaway at the show. We would appreciate you posting the contest on your site if you feel your artist audience would be interested in entering! Details are below and I am happy to send you a small graphic for posting or answer any questions you might have.

Thank you so much for helping us spread the word about this fun creative opportunity!

The Challenge
Fancy having your own design featured at New York Comic Con?
Of course you do, so you need to get your concentration hat on and read these words:

Your task is to create your very own, highly original, comic book character. Superhero or villain. Splendidly powerful, embarrassingly weak, or just quite good at chess. Give them skills you�ve always wanted or defects you�ve always dreaded. Give them a snappy name and stick them on a t-shirt.

What would your character wear? What�s their calling card, weaponry or gadgetry? What�s their story? What are they fighting for or against? It�s up to you to answer these questions.

We�ll then whip the winning design into a limited edition, official RedBubble/NYCC 2011 t-shirt to be featured, praised, discussed and given to hundreds of adoring comic fans in New York this October.
